Eligibility
Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech underwent a procedure to remove a cyst from his right knee on Friday and will finish the season on the injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Once one of the more highly-regarded young pitchers in the game, Kopech has endured a tough 2023 season. The right-hander has worked to a 5.43 ERA across 30 outings (27 starts) while dealing with serious control issues by way of a 15.4% BB%.
In just 1 2/3 innings pitched, he allowed five walks and two earned runs on 44 pitches, overshadowing his two strikeouts and one hit allowed.
Fantasy Impact
With a 5.16 ERA and 1.56 WHIP on the season, Kopech's lack of consistency and high walk rate make him a risky fantasy option despite his strikeout potential.
